Hey,

it's just me who don't like the stock ICS Keyboard in landscape-mode? I really think the letters are to small in terms of height. I liked the GB keyboard more due to this fact.

Or have you a replacement that doesnt lag? I tried smart keyboard, but for me it's lagging too much:-/

Thx for your reply.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I use Swiftkey X but that's paid (allow independent portrait/landscape custom height for keys). If you want a free nice alternative, try GO Keyboard...it has a blue glowish theme that matches ICS. Better keyboard is nice also but that's also paid appl (but it allow custom width/height of keys) and you might try Swipe too
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
I've been using HTC IME mod for ages, and I still love it! It's a highly tweaked HTC keyboard.

Google it, it's not from the market!
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
I use Swype.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
For me it only adjusts the volume and I did not see any settings for music player to change it!
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
My screen or should I say lock screen sometimes become unresponsive and blank when I get a call. Does anyone else face this problem
[HTC Desire S] coolkiffings:
No the rom can't skip songs while it's turned off..

Has anybody the same problems with the performance from the stock launcher?
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Nope. I OC to 1.4Ghz with OC/UV Beater.

You could try chaning the Window andimation scale and Transition Animation Scale to .5x. Both options can be found in the Settings > Developer Options menu. :)

FYI I flashed this over Beta 2, wiping dalvik/cache only. Works a treat.
[HTC Desire S] Darky135:
where can we download beta 5 ? :)

edit: nvm found it!

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Trying out this ROM now. So far so good. Very smooth and has a lot of features with no bugs just yet.

Thanks for the great work.

Just two feature requests please,

1. As I have already mentioned - a way to change tracks using volume keys

2. Add play/pause/previous track/next track into the notification bar toggles options

I don't know the amount of work that will be involved to implement these, but I don't suspect it will be a lot.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] creppo87:
Thanks for your replys. I think I'll try the HTC IME_Mod again. I tried it with beta 3 but it doesnt work:-/

Maybe I had a false version of it. But I really love the HTC Keyboard. In my opinion of of the best stock keyboards:)

And as a feature suggestion. Customizable Lockscreen Shortcuts, and I will stick to ICS as I love the feature in Sense Roms:) But I'm sure youz already work on it, and maybe I could do it by myself by mod the files to have whatsapp as a shortcut:)

Update:

5h30, suddenly down to 60% and quite hot battery cover.

The application which is now on #1 for battery consumption is Mediaserver (56%) !!

No clue where this comes from all of a sudden since I did not start it :confused:

Just did a reboot, I have to monitor this further.
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
im on 79% after 4 hr 25mins. Screen 70%, Mediaserver 2%. Just had to do a reboot though as something was causing slowdown.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
It's a system service, it's probably scanning your SD card for music, pics, etc.
[HTC Desire S] mexicorn:
I've learned that you cannot judge battery life until it drops below 100%. :)

Don't know if it happens to anybody else, but mine sort of "hangs" at 100% for a while, and when finally drops to 99%, then it goes down quick (with the screen on, of course). I always calibrate battery upon installing new rom. The same thing happens on my Hero.

For example, here is a screenshot from this morning. I took it off the charger around 9:40 and browse forums and news over WiFi for an hour or so, and the whole time battery stays at 100%. For the rest of the time, I did pretty much the same, only this time on my way to work, with mobile data instead of WiFi. Notice the drop when the screen is on.

I had problem with Mediaserver last night, also. Phone got hot with the screen off. Haven't noticed it after restart. Maybe some application triggers it.

One more thing. Upon arriving to work, I wanted to connect to WiFi (didn't turn it off), but it showed none of the AP's around. I tried to manually initiate scan, but even that didn't work. Turning WiFi off and on solved the problem.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
You need version 27 hi something. And you need to install both apks included inthe zip file!

Know how to activate it? Settings >> keyboard and activate it in there. Then change the keyboard used. If not possible, make sure keyboard idontknowwhat is activated in settings >> quattro control.
[HTC Desire S] Troja:
Photo Gallery is not correct. Is this a bug ?

....via my DesireS
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
I've noticed the same thing. My battery stayed between 90 and 100% for a couple hours and then dropped to 44% pretty quickly.

Also, I never opened Maps so it shouldn't have used 10%, right?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Ok..so it seems I was not halucinating. There is battery drain after all.

Now after I had the phone fully charged at the office, after 2 hrs, I have 87% battery left. WiFi on all the time, several calls (some of 10 min or more) and checking forum and mail (that is internet usage). In this way for sure I won't have battery last for 1 day. Fortunately I have chargers in all places but still battery goes down quicker than with other ICS ROMs.

With beta8r2 from superkid/m-deejay I could leave it in standby the whole night without loosing 1%

Now as I write this, another 1% has gone... 86% left

suffering the same problem as well as the Email app locking up and having to close
[HTC Desire S] vyaskd:
@devs. plz add a filemanager application in next update, so we can install the apks which we have on sdcard. great work done so far, quick updates, thnks 4 make my saga ICS'd
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Why don't you install one from Market, there are plenty of them. Try ES File Manager, it's free and has alot of functions, including "explore as root" and "mount system writable" functions.

Instead of adding something we can install our self, let them concentrate on solving bugs/improve the functionality...the things we cannot do
[HTC Desire S] vyaskd:
i know bro, but initially and sometimes due to bad network market get too slow. and is it bad if a rom has default file manager? miui also has its very gud filemanager.
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
Since the reboot nu further substantial drain.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
try installing Betterbatterystats from market , or XDA .

This will help you in idetifying what is keeping your phone awake when not in use.

@devs, this app will also help in identifying any kernelwakelocks, thus improving battery life further...
[HTC Desire S] fanatcom:
I agree, file manager in rom by default - even a very good thing

are you guys trying to re-calibrate battery after ROM flash?

i tried it recently(after few ROM changes etc) for the first time and it feels like it helped. worth a try, its free.

https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd
[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:
+1, noticed a big improvement after a new Rom flash.

Recommended.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No drain here
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
You are missing that Mediaserver-thingy.

I wonder what triggers it because that seems to be the culprit for the huge drain. I also wonder what it does.
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Okay here's the solution...

A bit crude...

If you find battery draining fast...

Just reboot...

Somehow mediaserver file is stuck and keeps draining battery...

For now this simple solution works :)

(*Max had to reboot twice for things to fall in place)
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
A solution maybe but not really reliable.

How do you know when mediaserver is stuck ? I am not going to babysit my device to watch (the constant switching on to check the battery will also drain the battery, which is a catch-22).

What triggers mediaserver and more important, why does it hang ?

That's what needs to be solved IMHO. But I am in no position to help on that area (no usable/recent dev-expertise) so for now I will gladly accept the workaround :)

I update from beta8r4a_121_aosp. Great work! waiting for the carema. I like this rom

I suppose it was while sense was what everyone wanted. Now everyone wants ICS it makes sense they change to doing that :)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Great ROM guys, everything works great, i have some minor issues but i thinks it's the apps :

Switfkey X can't be used (i can install it even enter the settings, but from there nothing works,) i can't set it up as a default keyboard either.

The Power Control Widget is not customizable, when i select it it just appears on the screen, without a set-up (is there any way to set it up from somewhere else)?

Flashed your version over mdj and superkid's one whit wipe cache and dalvick before flashing, no problem here.

PS : great font recognition, now i can see the Romanian special characters like " ş,ţ,ă,î. ".
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
@devs: On the first build with hardware acc. working the nenamark score raised from about 36 to 43 or so. But later on it dropped again to 37. Since then it's stable in that region. Why has it dropped again?

In the result browser I see other devices with adreno 205 with scores above 60! Do you expect higher performance on the saga in the future too?
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Great work ppl :-)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Maybe not concludent but Quadrant scores for this ROM are lower... 1600 compared to 2096 with beta8r2 what I was using lately. Didn't noticed any decrease in performance but still, about 400 points decrease in benchmark is alot. Any reason for this?

Aside this problem, the ROM is fantastic. I have only one issue (present in all latest betas) with GO Launcher EX...the dock bar does not scroll properly, dunno why. Till now it was "snapping" in place when I was scrolling it. That's why I still use beta8r2 where it works ok.

Wow using mobo and forcing soft decode did the trick for flash. Thanks

Also not sure what you changed but beta 6 is feeling smoother.

Is there a way to remove silent mode? Like in cm7 when you pressed the volume down it would only go as far as vibrate. I like to randomly press the volume down and keep putting the phone on silent which keeps making me miss calls

Thanks guys

[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
I have a strange situation...battery percentage is different on the status bar and in the widget...someone has noticed this?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Could be that widget does not correctly display information. I have battery level displayed in 3 places...on battery, on lock screen and on CPU Master PRO widget. In all 3 the percentage is identical.

Have you tried with a different widget? It is displaying like this also after a reboot?
[HTC Desire S] mariotg:
guys, will camera work?
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
Where you got this clock widget?
[HTC Desire S] ck2009:
No camera won't work yet.

It's beautiful widget superclock with ICS skin...anyway just removed widget and replaced and rebooted the phone...now works :-s will see if have this issue again

EDIT: issue still there...confused
[HTC Desire S] alain.duchateau:
Amazing ! wipe cache, wipe dalvik, ... install and.... AMAZING ! this rom is blazing fasssssssst ! many thx !
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
Using beta 6 now and it is smooth and quick! I like the new Performance menu in settings! Don't remember seeing it in the changelog though :p

Just looking back at the battery issue from before, i've got 1hr 10min on battery and still at 100% (awesome!). I rebooted just to make sure it was right and it's still saying 100% however it says i've been on battery for 2min now. Any ideas?

Great job! Still massively impressed with everything!

----- edit ------

Also, just noticed that I cannot update my location in the News and Weather app. After 'Acquiring location...' it just stops what it was doing...?
[HTC Desire S] Raaert:
In CPU Settings 'performance' - I cannot change min/max freq?

Could you add the possibility to wake screen with volume keys?

Also the 'press back to kill application', seems a bit quick. Also, sometimes it just closes the application, it isnt killed, it starts right where i left off. (kill usually requires 2 tries (browser)).

Could you make the launcher more persistent? It often loads/reloads, which takes 1-2 sec.

Overall its a fantastic ROM, and it seems to be developing at a blazing speed. Im already using it as my daily, despite a few bugs and missing camera. With the skills you guys have, im sure its gonna be figured out shortly. Remember to pad yourselves on the back :).
[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:

The 'time on battery' has continued after a reboot previously. The previous picture I posted showing 5hrs and 40min was just after a reboot.
[HTC Desire S] Rul:
Battery time sucks really bad on Beta 5 and 6. Before I had about 40 hours on a full charge, but now only about 9. So strange.
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
I have seen the same on beta 5. After a reboot, time continues.

The screenshot I provided previously was also after a reboot.

Just tried for giggles using beta 6:

- check battery

- reboot

- check battery again

- time has been reset
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Doesn't that always happen? Strange happened to me on cm7 as well but it made sense

Can someone post the ringtones of this rom? I had this rom installed, but I forget to copy the ringtones....

I do not have time to install it over (waiting miui 4!)

[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:
It makes a real difference if a full wipe is made, and performing a battery calibration after flashing. I'm not suggesting you don't, it's just for everyone to know.

I don't know if this is a big issue for you guys but I have noticed that Facebook sync with people app does not work as it should.

I got my Facebook account to sync but pictures are very low resolution, I can literally count the 32 pixels lol.

There is an app called HaxSync on the market that imports the pictures from Facebook but you have to join the contacts manually in the people app and if you are like me and have 300-400 contacts.

Any thoughts?

I am afraid but i can see battery drain issue in beta 6.

I flashed beta 6, fully charged my desire S and calibrated battery.

And after 3hrs only it has drop to 60%, ie 40% is gone. And in the stats it is showing that 55% of batery is used by Screen, which is in auto brightness.

STATISTICS where major DRAIN OCCURED...

Screen Time : 1h 9m. Used 55%

Voice Call : 22m 31s. Used 26%

Please look into the matter cause i am sure there is some battery issue in Beta 6.
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
I think the battery jammed at 100% may be related to not updating while the phone is asleep. Ive noticed turning on from sleep and thinking wow impressive only lost 1% then within 15 mins a further 14% has dropped.

Is there a built in way to take a screenshot of this or must I download an app?
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Could very well be. There is a manual refresh button on the battery info screen though. Screenshot can be done by long pressing the power button and choosing screenshot :)
[HTC Desire S] holvoetn:
2h20 in, still at 100%.

I already hit manual refresh like crazy, no visible change.

Battery Calibration indicates 4216mV, which corresponds to a full battery but this I find hard to believe. There should be 'some' drop in voltage after this time.

Stats:

55% Cell standby

18% Cell idle

11% Screen

9% Wifi

FWIW I have auto brightness OFF !
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
That option isn't on my power menu.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
For me full battery means 4228-4230 so it's not concludent. It can be discharged a little but not showing and after some time you'll find battery dropping fast to match the charge level
